YOUTH - Success prediction system for private companies - unstructured data aggregation
Agreement Number:
917536
Agreement Value:
$20,000.00
Agreement Date:
Nov 12, 2018 - May 10, 2019
Description:
Today there is no standardized report card for private market businesses, no common way to describe the maturity or potential chance of success the business has. Amongst its initial goals, FastApps is creating an automated holistic business analysis and benchmarking platform to facilitate calculation of a probability of success of early stage companies. A key part of this is to aggregate and utilize the wealth of unstructured information that is available publicly on individual company websites as well as the news media. This will provide FastApps with valuable training data for a success prediction tool that is being demanded by firms that can help early stage companies grow most.
